The Thursday, July 16, 2026, draw in Spain paid out €12 million in prizes. The basic award of €300,000 per series went to ticket number 11312 and was distributed across 13 locations: Avilés (Asturias), Armilla (Granada), Cartagena (Murcia), Albacete, Sant Antoni de Portmany (Balearic Islands), Callús (Barcelona), Conil de la Frontera (Cádiz), Treceño (Cantabria), Pobra do Caramiñal (Coruña), Madrid, Ramallosa (Pontevedra), Alfafar (Valencia), and Valladolid.
Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE), Spain's official lottery operator, publishes separate results for each draw date. Its standard results list a first prize, a second prize and reintegros, which refund the ticket price. The Thursday draw's full prize breakdown also covered tickets matching four, three or two digits.
The second prize, worth €60,000 per series, went to number 78148, sold exclusively in Aranjuez (Madrid). Smaller prizes paid €75, €15 and €6 per décimo for matching four, three or two digits, respectively. The four-digit numbers drawn were 0099, 3218, 7842 and 9432. Three-digit prizes went to 098, 150, 349, 351, 497 and 924; two-digit prizes went to 13, 31, 32, 51, 63, 64, 65 and 82. Reintegros were assigned to numbers ending in 2, 3 and 5.
Winners have 90 days from the day after the draw to claim their prizes. They must present the original ticket and valid identification at a lottery administration office to collect a prize. Those who bought tickets online must follow the official procedure set out by the lottery operator.
Since 2020, Spanish lottery prizes have been tax-exempt up to €40,000, with a 20% tax on any amount above that threshold. The rule remains in effect for the 2026 draw and affects winners of larger prizes. One of Spain's oldest and most popular games of chance, the Lotería Nacional draws broad participation through its extensive prize structure and the tradition of sharing tickets with friends and relatives, including at work. The geographic spread of winners reflects the lottery's national reach. For many, the draw is also a social ritual marked by anticipation. The tax rules, claim period and documentation requirements matter to anyone holding a winning ticket.
